dude, its not an opinion its the truth.. and your response to a few of my points was only referring to how you can customize them. thats not the basis of overall experience. and the itunes music store is second to none, and the fact that the iphone is a full fledged ipod does state that its mp3 player is second to none.. think of how many people have ipods out in the world, the majority of people that use any type of media player has an ipod. a lot of people that doesnt like or want service with att, or just doesnt want to pay for the iphone has an ipod touch to compensate.. are you kidding me? thats not an opinion, its the truth. no skin is going to beat how fluid and great the mp3 player is on the iphone.. this is where we get into the part when i said, you have to be honest with yourself.
secondly, i never said that was all i knew how to do buddy.. dont doubt MY knowledge and capabilities with windows mobile.. i listed a few to make a general point, never implied that was all i knew. and i think you completely missed my point since you even bothered to take the time to point that out. think about this.. windows mobile is trash stock-wise.. and what good is a software when you have to sit down an completely re-write the way it operates? considering about half of the guys with win mobile customize it or has at least once tweaked it to perform, look, operate like an iphone anyway? and even still with all the reg edits and the over clocking and all the other nonsense you have to do to upgrade the performance.. IT STILL isnt as fluid as an iphone. nothing stock on windows mobile interests me, period. you have to completely change the whole phone.. now when you look at the iphone, yeah its not as customizable- but then again, there isnt much reason TO customize it because it works great the way it comes. its like comparing a brand new lambo to an 1988 volvo that you changed the engine, changed the body style, changed the paint job, changed the interior, gave it a flashy music player, put rims on it, tinted the windows, got a hot spoiler for it (you know.. pimp my ride style) and then trying to sit there and say the 1988 volvo is better than the Lamborghini? customization is a benefit, not the sole thing that determines whether something is better or not.
now as far as the browser goes.. i want you to find an article out there that says that a win mobile compatible browser is flat out better than safari... good luck with that challenge. because im sorry no one has ever said any browsing experience surpassed it. they said some are close, hell i doubt someone's even said it was comperable.. but def not better.. think about this.. if windows mobile had a browser like safari.. would any of you really search for another one? seriously?? and would it be your MAIN browser???? ok flash support or not, if you had safari on your win mobile phone (yes im asking it again to push how obvious the answer would be) and it worked the exact same way it performed on an iphone, would any other browser be your default browser???? be honest with yourself.. because the answer is h3ll no!

its a matter of preference, I don't really care for safari because for me it's not as good as opera, doesn't seem to run as fast (although that might be ATTs crappy 3G coverage too), I'd rather use opera. I've played with lots of iphones and used one for a while. So if I could have a choice I'd go with opera any day over safari, although I do like safari more than IE.
Stock-Wise some wm phones are inferior to the iphone, although I like 6.5 more so I would rather have a wm6.5 stock w a titanium ui over the iphone. But with full on tweaks wm beats the iphone.
Android out of the box hands down is better than the iphone in almost every way. The only thing the iphone has over other phones is the apps (most of which are useless), some are good.
I don't really know what you're talking about with the whole ipod thing, I'd rather have a zune or sandisk because at least that way I'm not paying twice the price because it has an apple symbol on it. I-tunes pretty much blows and I wouldn't use it if I got paid (well, maybe if I got paid like $500 a month I would) not only because of the crappy bitrates, constant annoying updates, slow laggy run, proprietary garbage syncing, etc... but also the insane memory and resource usage.
you state things as "fact" that are just your opinion, we get it, you live and die with Apple, you're hard-core apple lover to the bone, that's cool man, it's all gravy, you have that right and you're somewhat knowledgeable enough to make your points.
I don't know of anyone who "customizes to look like an iphone" their wm rig except as a gimmick today screen to show that it can be done and that WM devices are superior because you can change the UI in so many ways.
It's cool, sit back, relax, have a nice cold glass of Shiner (some good beer I tell you what). Some people like the iphone, some people don't.
Do you want an easy UI with thousands of "fun" apps that syncs with itunes and retains its resale value or do you want an insurable, customizable, phone maybe with a real keyboard, maybe if you want to change the UI or not be stuck on a POS overcharging network (unless you unlock it)?
all opinion, I'll stick with WM and check out android, maybe I'll pick up a worm out 3G iphone to play around with and such,
